UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Worcestershire County Council is buying a comprehensive range of gates, access structures, fittings and replacement components for its Public Rights of Way network. The products are intended to support installation, maintenance and replacement of access infrastructure, with the aim of providing consistent quality, accessibility and value across the county’s network. The requirement also includes warranty support, technical information and ongoing availability of spare parts. The goods must comply with BS 5709:2018. Delivery is to locations across England. The council is seeking one supplier for the arrangement, rather than dividing the requirement between multiple suppliers. This is a supply opportunity for businesses dealing in public-access gates and related infrastructure, including suppliers able to support the products after delivery.

The council invited offers through an open procedure. The requirement is divided into one lot. Questions were due by 13 November 2026 at 16:00 UTC and bids by 20 November 2026 at 16:00 UTC; the stated award decision date is 18 December 2026. The estimated value is £350,000 excluding VAT (£420,000 including VAT). The contract is scheduled to run from 1 February 2027 to 31 January 2030, with two optional 12-month extensions and a possible end date of 31 January 2032. Evaluation gives price a 65% weighting and quality 35%. Bids may be submitted in English electronically through the council’s supplier portal.

This requirement is suited to suppliers with the capacity to provide a broad and dependable range of gates, access structures, fittings and replacement parts for public rights of way. Products must meet BS 5709:2018, so bidders need to be able to demonstrate compliance with that standard and provide suitable technical information. The council also expects warranty support and continued spare-parts availability, making after-sales service and reliable supply important alongside the initial product range. Suppliers with experience supporting the installation, maintenance and replacement of access infrastructure will be well placed to address the requirement. The single-supplier arrangement calls for the ability to serve delivery locations across England and maintain consistency across a county-wide public-access network.
